Mother (Tessie Colley Kennedy) had nine children. Now that brother Brent is gone, Nera (in Florida), Ruby (near Richmond), and I (in Florida) are the only three still living. Brent was #8, and I am #9. I was proud to represent Mother and all nine of her children at the funeral and graveside service. Health issues prevented Nera and Ruby from attending. I send love, healing, and blessings to all. Doyle Kennedy, 386.427.4045, New Smyrna Beach, FL

Doyle: So sorry to have missed Bret as I have had problems myself for the last few years. We are still trying to prove that GGgrandpa was a Melungeon being born and living in Buncombe and Jackson counties of N. C. It is a true honor to Bret to have so many believe in him and his writings. Again my regrets and God Bless to all. GL

Stony Creek

The first written record of the word Melungin is recorded in the 1813 minutes of Stony Creek Church. "Then came forward sister Kitchens and complained to the church against Susanna Stallard for saying she harbored them Melungins"

Blackwater Creek, Vardy Valley, Hancock County Tennessee

You must know that within ten miles of this owl's nest, there is a watering-place, known hereabouts as 'black-water Springs.' It is situated in a narrow gorge, scarcely half a mile wide, between Powell's Mountain and the Copper Ridge, and is, as you may suppose, almost inaccessible. A hundred men could defend the pass against even a Xerxian army. Now this gorge and the tops and sides of the adjoining mountains are inhabited by a singular species of the human animal called MELUNGENS. The legend of their history, which they carefully preserve, is this. A great many years ago, these mountains were settled by a society of Portuguese Adventurers, men and women.
